To vent, or not to vent....

[unsub]

Shopping windshields and I did like my Clearview vented sport recurve, but I'm looking at other options as well. I remember them emailing me saying they had production issues and it took forever to get it. Still considering them though. Longrideshields are definitely less expensive, they look great but have no vent. Also considering the Honda accessory vented tall shield. I will pretty much almost always have my wife on the back. I'm 5'10, but have a tall torso. My inseam is 29/30. I did appreciate the vent in my Clearview during hot rides and I think it gets rid of that dead air space just behind the shield. Thanks for any input. I don't like the looks of the Madstad, so I haven't spent any time looking into them.

That's me. I use an OEM tall windshield with vent. It suits me and the machine, to a Tee. No cutting, no sanding, no taping, no drilling, no adjusting. Bolt on. Done.

Look into a See Baily windshield.

Vented it is. Thanks. Hey Steve080, have any of your passenger backrest extensions???

but I could use an extension too. How much are they?

14" Clearview Shield with recurve here.

The vent was a waste of money for me. Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is open or closed.


I'd rather have the added visibility ahead.

Wow, it worked great on my Clearview. I pushed the lever down all the way and directed air on my abdomen and I could definitely feel it. Kept it closed when it got chilly too.

Personally, I love the versatility of my stock shield and the MRA bolt on spoiler. It functions almost as good as the Madstad. I have the clear spoiler and with the stock shield blacked out it is hard to notice that it is even there from a few feet away. In the lowest point, I can change the angle and get some protection or else raise it all the way for almost complete coverage---or I can retract it to the lowest position flat against the stock shield and I get all of the air I want.

This is my 5th setup and the only one that gives me every option for air movement that I can adjust in less than 10 seconds to fit the temperature of the moment.
